From all reports, it was a

I seriously. The school grounds

On Thursday, November 1,
fire inspectors for the eighth

see what the Garden Clubs,
three targe ones in Covington
alone, have done to beautify
thi city. Newcomers may thrill
at the well landscaped hospital
grounds, school gi ounds and
paiks, and wonder who spent
this money; who planned it all
and who cared so much. You
may thank the Garden Clubs of
Covington for this.
Ride aiound and look at the
homes ... if Jack Frost did
not ruin the beautiful flowers
these last two nights. Many of
the homes look like they stop
ped out. of “Better Homes and
Garden’s Showplaces.” Truly,
Fall is just as pretty as Spring
in Newton County. Chrysan
themums, Dahlias and other
Fall “pretties” have made Cov
ington and Newton County
look lige a Fairyland.
The bug has bitten us now
. . . and everybody will be
planting Fall Gardens. I think
this is one instance in which
we might be forgiven in “try
ing to keep up with the Jones
Family”. Every home a show
place with Spring, Summer and
Fall flowers will truly make a
"City Beautiful”. Covington is
already noted, down through
the years for it's old homes, of
beautiful architecture. Let’s
plant (after the first hard
freeze, and we've HAD IT)
Sweet Peas . . for next Spring
. . . sow our annual seed now
for next Spring . . . Ah! The
postman interrupted, and there
was a large box of Bulbs . . .
from one oh so dear to my
heart . . she has sent Callas
Easter lilies and Amaryllis
bulbs! The Callas will have to
go in the house . . . but I know
where the Amaryllis bulbs
. . . one of his favorites . . .
will go in the corner of the
Cemetery lot . . .
And after all the nice things
we’ve said about Covington.
Do you know there is a chal
lenge for some Club . . or the
City. It is what sacred spot
where our loved ones are put
to rest . . . our Cemetery. There
is a new Cemetery, which is
kept letter perfect with beauti
ful! green grass . . . and just
perfect. But ride through ours.
Most Cities realize the impor
tance of making the Cemetery
one of the most beautiful places
in town. It helps the feelings
of those who have put their
loved ones there. The roads are
>o bad through the cemetery
that there are great washouts
in them . . . just recently fill
ed with red clay, which will
become sticky and m same con
dition after a few cars have
been over it. You know we
need a lot of paving around
Covington . . . but why could
not those narrow roads be
paved’ The grass cut cleanly
at all times. It's a relatively
-mall place, and with some club
helping sponsor, and supervis
ing the work, it could be a
beautiful place. The Covington
Rotary Club read this column
once, way back around 1933 or
1934 . , . about the abuse of the
cemetery bv intruders . . cats
parking there . . children shoot
ing stones, even the fingers off
of a little statue . . . THEY did
something about it and erected
a fence around it with locks
on the gates. See their minutes.
The gates were supposed to be
locked every night . . and they
have been. However, recently
they have not been at all times.
This we know for we had rolls
of fencing down there to erect
a fence on the back side of it
. . . and it was stolen after the
hour for the gates to be closed
. . . and the gates were still
open at 11:30 that night. We
all get careless sometimes
about the things we have to
do . . . Sometimes we get care
less even about the things we
love most . . our own family . .
our friends. Life is so rushed.
But with all the city has to do
right now. and they are doing
some wonderful work ... we
■ wonder if there is not a Club
that would like to start a pro
gram for the improvement of
the roads and walks in the
cemetery ... as well as the
planting of Winter Grass . .
and keeping it clean at all
1 times, and free from children
1 making a play giound of it?
This is not a criticism. It is
jealousy, on our part, to see a
Cemetery Beautiful for out
city. Il s as sacied to you as it j

Civil Defense
Class Setup al
Cousins School
At the first Civil Defense
j class which was held at R. L.
' Cousins School Monday, No
i vembei 5. Mr. J. W Richard
son. superintendent of Newton
I County Schools and Mr. R. L.
i Stewart, principal of R. L.
Cousins gave introductory
• statements about the course.
' Afterwards. Messrs. L. Smith
and C. J. Tmsley, instructors
of the course, organized the
class.
Mr. Richardson explained
how Newlon County is among
the leading counties in the
Civil Defense program because
the Newton County teachers
have already been trained,
how important it is to attend
the classes and how the twelve
required hours could be set up.
In his introductory remarks
about the need for Civil De
fense, Mr. Smith stressed the
danger of living in a nuclear
age, explained some scientific
terms relating to nuclear war
fare, emphasized the impor
tance of preparedness, and ex
plained that the program is
not one sponsored by the fed
eral government but by the
state government for civilians.
The group decided to meet
Monday, Tuesday and Wednes
day of this week, November 5,
6 and 7, and Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday of next week,
November 12, 13 and 14, from
7;30 until 9:30 p.m. All per
sons who are unable to meet
at the first schedule of classes
may enroll for a second set of
classes if at least twenty per
sons enroll.
Mr. Tinsley showed a movie
entitled “The Invisible En
emy”. The movie illustrated the
following: the importance of
family fallout shelters, how to
build the shelter, what to put
in the shelter, how radioactive
particles when controlled are
useful to man but detrimental
when used in nuclear explo
sions. and how the nuclear ex
plosion goes off.
Each of the following, as set
up by the Civil Defense De
partment, will be discussed
